Broken Crown

Touch my mouth and hold my tongue
I’ll never be your chosen one
I’ll be home, safe and tucked away
You can’t tempt me if I don’t see the day

The pull on my flesh is just too strong
Stifles the choice and the air in my lungs
Better not to breathe than to breathe a lie
When I open my body I breathe a lie

I will not speak of your sin
There is a way out for him
The mirror shows not
Your values are all shot

And oh, my heart was flawed I knew my weakness
So hold my hand, consign me not to darkness.

Crawl on my belly ‘til the sun goes down
I’ll never wear your broken crown
I took the road and I fuc*** it all away
In this twilight how dare you speak of grace

Crawl on my belly until the sun goes down
I’ll never wear your broken crown
I can take the road and I can f*** it all away

In this twilight our choices seal our faith
